Looks like Lady Gaga is annoyed with Dr Luke for prohibiting Kesha to perform at the Billboard Music Awards, following which she has compared record producer to Disney Villain.

The 30-year-old singer has compared Luke, who sexually abused Kesha for years, to 'The Little Mermaid' villainess Ursula, who steals Ariel's voice, Channel.24 reports.

Gaga, who has always stood beside Kesha's in her battle, tweeted, "Isn't it strange that it's legal to own a woman this way? Listen Ursula, we want her voice back. #freeKesha."

She also tweeted a link to a story about the controversy and wrote, "Isn't it strange that it's legal to own a woman this way?"

The upcoming music award ceremony will be held on May 22, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
